1. (U) This is an ACTION REQUEST -- Please see Para 4.
2. (S/NF) During a November 5 conversation, Maldivian
MFA Permanent Secretary Ahmed Shaheed requested from the
DCM that the United States share any intelligence
information it may have garnered from Ibrahim Fouwzy, a
Maldivian national held at Guantanamo. Shaheed
specifically asked for any information on ties Fouwzy
may have with other Maldivian nationals. In this
regard, Shaheed also requested that the Maldivian
government be permitted to conduct its own intelligence
interview of Fouwzy. (Note: We understand that the
Maldivian government may have made similar requests via
other channels.)

detainee. Fouwzy's family has requested that the
government visit him in Guantanamo.
4. (S/NF) ACTION REQUEST: Mission requests guidance on
how to respond to the three queries from the Maldivians,
i.e., sharing of intelligence information garnered from
Fouwzy, access to conduct their own intelligence
interview, and consular access. END ACTION REQUEST.
